Dr Ann Buchan

Dr Buchan graduated from the University of Melbourne and completed her training at both the Melbourne Royal Hospital and Repatriation General Hospital Heidelberg. She has over 30 years of experience working in general practice, initially as a solo practitioner in Victoria and then on the Sunshine Coast for 18 years.

While practicing in Victoria, she worked in women’s health, including a breast clinic at Freemasons Hospital and Mornington Women’s Health Clinic. During her time in Queensland, Dr Buchan has also gained experience in working in a rural setting.

Seeking a lifestyle (and scenery) change for herself and her family, Dr Ann moved to King Island where she now practices at Ochre Medical Centre. Her professional interests include medical education and learning, chronic health and women’s health, with an emphasis on rural medicine. Dr Buchan’s personal interests include gardening, textiles, literature, spending time with her husband and keeping up with her several sons, stepsons and many grandchildren.
